Was suprisingly good....

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2003)

This has all the markings of a horror flick, but to my suprise it really isn't. It's a more human story, you could tell immediately that this wasn't made in Hollywood....and that automatically gives it a leg up on most other films. This movie is straight to the point, and has no problem keeping your attention as you see the characters' journey go deeper and deeper into the apocalyptic circumstances. How'd they get all those people off the streets for that long?? This was a good movie....a lot better than the advertising/word of mouth would let you believe. It's not like a slasher flick, it actually has a good story/message. It's a look into the human psyche when faced with its own survival. It looks/feels like a 'disaster documentary' of sorts. Suprisingly good.
